Calculate the net force acting on a body of mass 5 kg moving with a uniform velocity of $4 m s^{0 - 1}$ ?

Open in App

Solution

Given,

Mass $= 5 k g$
Velocity $= 4 m / s$

Net force will be $0$ . This is because an object moving with a uniform speed has zero acceleration, there is no change in velocity.

And according to Newton's second law of motion, we know, Acceleration is directly proportional to Force.

If acceleration $= 0$
Force = Mass × Acceleration
Force = Mass × 0
Force = 0

Thus, Net force acting on the body is 0.
